Committee backs NJDOT recommendations to award Chestnut Street and Long Hill Road Phase 2 resurfacing contracts
Summary
The Township Committee recommended award of two NJDOT state-aid contracts: Chestnut Street resurfacing to Fischer Contracting for $288,696.45 and Long Hill Improvements Phase 2 to Riverview Paving for $289,451.52, subject to NJDOT approval.
The Long Hill Township Committee on March 25 recommended that the New Jersey Department of Transportation approve two state-aid road contracts.
Resolution 26-099 recommends awarding the Chestnut Street Resurfacing contract to Fischer Contracting Inc. for a base bid of $288,696.45, subject to NJDOT approval. Resolution 26-100 recommends awarding the Long Hill Improvements Phase 2 contract to Riverview Paving, Inc. for a base bid of $289,451.52, also subject to Department approval.
Why it matters: Both projects are part of ongoing road maintenance and improvement efforts and will use state-administered local-aid funding. Each resolution directs the mayor and clerk to execute contracts upon Department approval and to charge the awards to the listed capital budget line items.
Administrator Bahr noted the awards in his report; the minutes state the awards were based on bid results and will move forward only after NJDOT’s final sign-off. No construction contracts were executed at the meeting itself — the committee recorded only the recommendation to the Department.
Next steps: The township clerk is authorized to return bid bonds of unsuccessful bidders; the mayor and clerk will sign contracts once NJDOT approves. Funding will be charged to the capital accounts noted in each resolution.
